The world’s first footage of a blue whale nursing, filmed in March of 2015 in Sri Lanka. A piece of this footage was released in June of 2015, but because it was part of a larger film project, the full version was held back until filming was complete for that project.

From the Editor: There’s something about a photograph of a blue whale that keeps you looking, holds your attention. Past the stunning composition and vivid blues, perhaps what makes these images so hypnotic is the fact that it’s of a subject photographed so little, and rarely encountered.

So many incredible experiences on this expedition. Filming a world first baby blue whale nursing, using an aerial camera to view whales from new angles and helping advance the research of these incredible animals. Can’t wait to return in 2016! Enjoy….
